MAPPING THE FUTURE
Co-working and Social Entrepreneurship
203
Join a discussion on the diverse models that are being
used for co-working. Participants will learn about the different
organizational structures and fi nancing schemes.
They will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each
model, and will identify key learnings that can strengthen
co-working for social change.
Breaking Silos to Innovate
The citizen sector is a laboratory of social change,
whether dealing with social, health, research-based,
cultural, or environmental issues. Social entrepreneurs
are born from this laboratory, anxious to break social
and economic silos. It is also from this terrain that multidisciplinary
solutions emerge, which the Foundation
of France believes are the most innovative and able to
resolve increasingly complex issues. In order to facilitate
a global approach to solutions that are anchored locally,
we must bridge social and economic spheres; we must
bridge the specialists of exclusion and culture, of health
and environment, of research and welfare, and of the
public and private sectors.
Session led by Fondation de France.
